SUMMARY been traumatized by his defeat by Thanos.
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to
protect the world from threats too large for any one
hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from
the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of
intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six
Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and
use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality.
Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up
to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence
itself has never been more uncertain. Thor is rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy, who
had picked up the Asgardian ship's distress call.
Thor guesses that Thanos would be after the Reality
Stone, which is in the possession of the Collector in
Knowhere, but first he must retrieve a new weapon
from the dwarven planet of Nidavellir, where the
only forge that can create such a weapon exists.
Stark and Parker rescue Strange from Maw's
torture, and throw Maw out of the shi p killing him.
The three leave to confront Thanos on Titan, where
they meet Quill, Drax and Mantis and form a plan to
remove Thanos' gauntlet.
NARRATION
Thanos and his Children - Proxima Midnight, Ebony
Maw, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian - attack the
Asgardian ship in search of the Space Stone, which
is housed in the Tesseract that Loki had stolen
before Asgard's destruction. With Thanos already
possessing the Power Stone after decimating
Xandar, Thanos' army swiftly defeats the
Asgardians. After a futile counter-attack from the
Hulk, Loki offers the Tesseract to Thanos in
exchange for Thor's life - only to be killed himself
when Thanos anticipates Loki's attempt to betray
and kill him. Heimdall uses the power of the Bifrost
to send Hulk to Earth before Glaive kills him.
Thanos and his Children then depart just as the
ship self-destructs, leaving a mourning Thor behind.
Thanos' goal of eradicating half of all life in the
universe comes to fruition as people begin
disintegrating; those include Bucky, Groot, Parker,
Quill, Strange, T'Challa, Wilson, Drax, Mantis and
Maximoff all dissolve into ash. In Wakanda, only
Rogers, Thor, Banner, Romanoff, James Rhodes,
Rocket, Okoye and M'Baku remain of the heroes. On
Titan, only Nebula and Stark are left alive. Thanos
awakens fully healed in another planet and watches
the sunset, satisfied at having achieved his ultimate
goal.
Hulk crash lands at the Sanctum Sanctorum and is
reverted back to Bruce Banner, who informs
Stephen Strange and Wong about Thanos'
impending arrival. Strange and Banner retrieve
Tony Stark and brief him about the Infinity Stones
and Thanos. Maw and Obsidian arrive in New York
to seize the Time Stone from Strange, and Stark,
Strange, Wong and Peter Parker confront them as
Banner is unable to transform into the Hulk, having
